eta/DYNAFORM functions are accessible via the three mouse buttons. To access a function, the user moves the mouse cursor to select the desired function, followed by depressing the left mouse button. In certain functions, the middle mouse button is used to complete operations and the right mouse button is used to cancel the last operation, such as creating a line, selecting nodes, surfaces, elements or coordinate system. These three buttons can also be used with CTRL, ALT and CTRL+SHIFT keys respectively for rotation, translation and scaling. For complicated models, eta/DYNAFORM provides the point cloud mode and Feature Line mode to accelerate the model display.
